I'm not a huge Balmain fan...I've often felt that it belongs in the overrated category.

This season there was a lot of SEX and gold lame to try to get past. There was nothing subtle about this collection.

But if you could get past the in your face sex you could find the interesting pieces. Except that the interesting pieces were all looks that they had shown before except with a slightly more deconstructed, post-apocalyptic feel.

I'm not sure how I feel about this collection yet. I think I need time for it to set in. But I do ADORE the hoods. I love hoods but they are hard to wear in a non-sloppy sweatshirt way but this accomplishes a sleek hood so much love!

I felt that much of the collection was a study in color- and the craftsmanship is just phenomenal!

Do you love the Elizabeth & James jewelry line by Robert Lee Morris but can't afford it? Me too! But here is a secret- while Robert Lee Morris does design the E&J jewelry line with the Olsens he also does a "low" end line for...QVC! Yes, the shop at home television station that your grandma loves!

While the lines have two distinct looks some of the styles tend to overlap which means you can get the E&J style without the E&J price.

while the RLM Studio River Ring doesn't have a head but the design is otherwise the same in a glossy silver for only $50.45

Are they exact replicas? No. But I'm a big believer that costume jewelry shouldn't cost a lot especially when they're "trendy" pieces. And when the same designer is doing similar looks at a lower price point its hard not to look into it.
